Gday all, I’ve noticed over the last couple of weeks that when I open certain projects, the inserts on my output channel are not “activated“ meaning that they are greyed out and I can’t click on them! If I load another one, it opens but no signal seems to be running through it. I can do this until all the available slots have been taken up by useless, not working inserts, what gives?? The plugins are both Cubase’s own (limiter, maximiser) and third party plugins ( waves NLS). Any help would be much appreciated as I have searched far and wide and have yet to find a solution.
What it does is simply to disable all plugins that introduces latency. So if your plugins on any channels have any latency, they will be disabled when it’s enabled.
It is a annoying magic. I think it would be good if it was some indicator on the plugs with delays when they are selected. Like the three sausages for VST3 plugins. It could be a different colour or a icon. And it is really bad that they are locked, it should be a settings for this and there might already be one?
Thanks KHS, Nice simple and concise answer, Cheers! and yes cubace, for noobs like myself who even after 4 years working with this complex yet excellent program, a little indicator would be awesome
No its not bad, its the whole purpose of the Constrain Delay Compensation feature.
In a mix situation, latency doesn’t really mean anything, but the feature is a nice and quick way to lower latency if you need to record something instead of having to manually go through and disable all latency heavy plugins.
I checked it on my Nuendo right now (Cubase Dongle is not at home)
my plugins are greyed out and on/off button, bypass button are “hidden”
so it shows clearly that there is something and there is also an indicator on the project window
